J m Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH FALLS hai been named by the vetcrani administration as the lite for a new VA hospital in Southern Oregon, but indi- cations are that our friends fv?L'r4m .... th hill in the Pnone I v River valley are doing their r' best to upset that reported . decision. The facts, as is not unusual t with respect to government bureau plans, are not entirely clear. The VA made its an nouncement of plan to build ' in Klamath Falls. Then Harris Ellsworth, congressman for the southwestern Oregon dis trict, assured Medford that EPLEY what was meant was "Klamath Falls area" and the folks in the Rogue valley, for the ' first time in our memory, began talking as if that section were part of the Klamath Falls ' area. Klamath sources inquired about the inten ! tion of the VA, and Congressman Lowell Stock ' man reported he was told Klamath Falls meant Klamath Falls in the VA announcement. , Thereafter, a site board was sent into south era Oregon to inspect sites, and is now at , work. It visited both Medford and Klamath Falls. i a . Camp Whit Out , . BEDFORD and nearby communities at the Wl outset made a strong play on the use of , the Camp White hospital for a VA establish 1 ment, pointing out it was already constructed ', at a large cost and could be quickly con verted. Their suggestions were along the line of sound economy, and were similar to the local expressions in favor of using the Marine Barracks as a site for the VA hospital here. Indications are that- the same answer has I-been given in both cases: The VA is not in terested in taking over second hand establish " ments. Klamath people learned some months ago that the Marine Barracks was virtually out as " a VA hospital possibility, and Medford, ac ' cording to reports in the Medford Mail-Tribune, 1 has just learned the same thing about Camp White hospital. The M-T says that the people 1 over there learned Camp White hospital was unsatisfactory because of its wooden interior, that the cost of re-building would be too great, that facilities for employes are not satisfactory and travel distance between the' camp and Medford too great. a a a a KF Has Edge THE Rogue contingent's efforts, however, ex tend beyond the Camp White hospital pro posal. If there is to be a brand new hospital, as is evidently the case, they want it over there instead of at Klamath Falls. The M-T says that local veterans, who con ferred with Engineer L. A. Warren and other members of the site board, were told that "Klamath Falls has the edge on this (Medford) area because that community KF) got ita bid in first." Quoting from the M-T story: "In Washington, the Veterans administration looked upon Klamath Falls as a center of popu lation in southern Oregon, the inspectors told the veterans. The impression was gained be cause of Klamath Falls better railroad facilities ... Endeavoring to correct the impression the local men informed the Inspectors that 80 per cent of the southern Oregon population is in the region from Medford to the coast, that there are 60 per cent more doctors in Jackson county than in Klamath Falls and that the altitude in Klamath Falls is too high for treatment of heart and nerve disabilities, main ailments of disabled vets of thia region." a a Busy IT will be seen from this news report that the Rogue valley forces are Quite busy in a de termined effort to alter the announced decision of the VA to build the hospital here. Klamath's Information in support of the loca tion of a hospital here was contained in a brief prepared by Charles Stark, manager of the chamber of commerce, and is complete and accurate. The VA knows of the medical success of the Marine Barracks and is undoubtedly otherwise well informed about Klamath Falls. However, it is well for people here to know of the Rogue contentions and intentions, and to maintain contact with the proper authorities in this matter. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 7 The senate debate on the proposed loan to Britain has con spicuously ducked the fact that the British gov ernment is lavishly buying its way into social ism. Some of the senate newsmen, who are the senator's severest critics, attribute the void to the broad lack of knowledge among politico of financial matters. They should charge it, instead, to the masking operations of the Attlee government. Not even the most learned fin ancial authorities of the empire can ascertain how the Attlee treasury has taken over the Bank of England and the mines, or how it is proceeding now to take the cable and wireless companies, railroads, steel and whatnot. The operations have been covered with secrecy and confusion worthy of an Eisenhower invasion of Europe, in which false moves and rumors were used to conceal the real intent from the enemy. Yet sufficient general evidence is available in the government bills proposed in parliament to piece together a general outline of the scheme. Each Industry is being seized in a slightly different way. The government has steadfastly refused to announce a general policy. But the actions taken so far, warrant these following conclusions: The government is buying its nation with debt It is purchasing industries by offering government stock or securities to private own ers for their private stock and securities. The price paid is rarely divulged, but seems general ly to be the current market value, or better, a a a . a Advice Of Times THE London Times (April 20) analyzed the processes so far in an effort to offer some worthwhile advice to holders of railroad secur ities who may be next, and reached this con clusion; "whatever method of nationalization is adopted, railroad stocks should be retained." In short, the Times concludes the government will offer at least the current market value or better for the railroads. Only in the taking of the Bank of England, did the government tell what it was really offering. Then it gave a 3 per cent government bond for stock, but guaranteed dividends until 1968 equal to what the bank had paid in the past 20 years. In the seizure of the coal industry alone, did the treasury permit free sale of its substitute stock (There is a big debt in coal and operations have not been profit able.) So the general conclusion is Inescapable that the socialism of Britain represents the government issuing stock to the same people who held the private stock, at market prices, often promising them the same dividends, and in effect guaranteeing them against losses, while depriving them of influence in operations or the right to sell their stock. This is an expensive operation. In effect, it transfers the debts of industry from private ownership to the people as a whole, making the treasury liable for success ot the enter prises, atop all the war debts. How will it work out? Not a man alive can guess. Offhand you might reasonably conclude that if the industrial operations continue profit able, the government may pay off in 20 to 23 years as contemplated. If business becomes un profitable, the people In their taxes, will have to foot the bill as well as the American tax payers who are furnishing this proposed loan. Furthermore, it may be difficult for a labor government to promote profitable operations be cause such a government must be amenable po litically to wage increases and increased oper ating costs for public service. a a a Can Do Anything BUT these simplest truths may not stand the test of time, because government can do anything. As it has let money rot, it can allow its special securities for each of these Industries in years ahead to find levels less burdensome upon the treasury. Only imagina tions unlimited can possibly conjure the limit less possibilities. Mr. Attlee's arrangers are keeping things that way. In the cables and wireless bill, there is no clear indication of prices to be paid for the involved holding company stocks. Apparently price ia to be estab lished by private bargaining between the treas ury and holders of the stock. Yet these astonishing and perplexing develop ments in socialism have caused remarkably little interest among the phlegmatic British. The public likes to look at the surface of things (indeed has no opportunity to do otherwise in this instance) and on the surface, fair exchange seems to be no robbery. What difference does it make if the stockholders get a government security of the same value and interest rata for their private stock? So go the British. The best commentary is offered by one of the personal items on the front page of the Times. Before the war this classified column was studded with such interesting items as: "Kitty. Please meet me at the usual place. Don't fail. I still love." There have been none of these notes lately, but many ads like the one which offered for sale a genuine pre-war leather golf bag for "20 pounds or any offer." Imagine it! A second-hand golf bag offered for $80 ... or anything. SIDE GLANCES ' S.T V - 4 j coafc aoaa av mu atawct: mc t. at eio. y. a. far, ore.
